1. The godly perish,but no one cares.Honest people disappear,when no one mindsthat the godly disappear because of evil.
2. Those who live uprightly enter a place of peace;they rest on their beds.
3. But approach, you sons of omen readers,you offspring of adulteresses and prostitutes!
4. At whom are you laughing?At whom are you opening your mouthand sticking out your tongue?You are the children of rebels,the offspring of liars,
5. you who practice ritual sex under the oaks and every green tree,who slaughter children near the streams under the rocky overhangs.
6. Among the smooth stones of the stream are the idols you love;they, they are the object of your devotion. You pour out liquid offerings to them,you make an offering.Because of these things I will seek vengeance.
7. On every high, elevated hill you prepare your bed;you go up there to offer sacrifices.
8. Behind the door and doorpost you put your symbols.Indeed, you depart from me and go upand invite them into bed with you.You purchase favors from them,you love their bed,and gaze longingly on their genitals.
